Online Calculator for Reinforced Concrete Beam Calculation is designed for the quick and accurate selection of reinforcement, as well as for the calculation of the strength and deflection of reinforced concrete beams. This tool assists engineers and builders in performing comprehensive calculations without the need for complex formulas. The calculator includes both strength and load calculations for reinforced concrete beams, simplifying the design of floors and other structural elements.
Main steps for using the calculator:
- Selecting the beam support scheme: options include "Pinned-Pinned" or "Cantilevered."
- Entering the design length of the beam, which is typically slightly shorter than the actual length.
- Specifying the external load on the beam, which can be calculated separately using the Online Load Collection Calculator.
- Defining the beam section dimensions (width and height, mm).
- Choosing the reinforcement scheme: reinforcement only at the bottom or reinforcement both at the top and bottom.
- Selecting the concrete grade (e.g., C20/25, C30/37, and others) and the reinforcement grade (e.g., B500A, B500B, B600, and others).
- Specifying the concrete cover based on various exposure conditions or entering it manually.
The calculator performs deflection calculations for the reinforced concrete beam, as well as strength verification. As a result, you will obtain the required amount and diameter of reinforcement to ensure the structural strength.
Note: The calculation results are for reference purposes only and require additional verification before use in actual projects.
